duplicity does not restore
I have a new computer I copied all my files to - beside one I forgot. Unfortunately the original disk is formatted again so I have no access to the original file. But I have a backup on an external disk, made with deja dup. When trying to restore , I get the following error:
-------
richard@nuc:~$ duplicity --no-encrypt --gio file://
Achtung: Parameter --gio ist veraltet und wird in einer der nächsten Versionen entfernt.
Bitte verwenden Sie Standarddateinamen.
BackendException: Hintergrundprogramm konnte nicht initialisiert werden: No module named gi.repository
-------
The OSes on the previous and the new computer are the same: Ubuntu 16.04
Is there hope?

Hello Richard,
can you please try to reinstall deja-dup with all recommendations and suggestions:
sudo apt-get --reinstall --install-suggests install deja-dup
Afterwards try to restore again, and tell us if this solved your problem.
Best Regards
Vej
The error message showed up also after reinstalling. But
sudo apt-get install python-gi
solved the problem. Now I have the missing file back.
Thank you!
